Abstract

An adapter holder assembly supports one or more optical adapters. The adapter holder includes first and second holding members spaced from each other. Inner sides of the holding members define one or more mounting channels each having a corresponding latching arm. The optical adapters mount to the holder assembly by sliding over the latching arms towards stop surfaces defined by the holding members. In certain implementations, the optical adapter is releasable by applying sufficient force to the optical adapter along a slide axis away from the respective stop surface.
